Have you ever tried to learn about the religion you follow? Although you believe in any religion, you first heard about it from your family, then from your neighbors, teachers and others. You have learned that there is a God who is 'Almighty' and who created you only to worship Him.

The Creator has presented many proofs of His existence to you so far, sending messengers who taught people. He has not only sent messengers, but also sent through some of them some books in which it is written why man was created. How man should behave, what he should do and what he should not do, all this He has described very beautifully and neatly in all those books.

The Creator taught man what he did not know. He did not know that the real life of man would actually begin after death, that he was sent to earth to test his loyalty, honesty and faith. The first man, Adam (peace be upon him), made a mistake, a test for him not to make such mistakes again. It is just like the annual exams in schools and colleges, you have to prove that you are suitable for a particular job.

The Creator has taught every human being according to contemporary knowledge and experience, and this is the best. When a person studies in the first grade, he is given the education suitable for that grade. Then when he is suitable for secondary education, he is given some new books, then: higher secondary, finally PhD, for each of these levels there are different books.

Similarly, when the knowledge of mankind was at a low level, messengers and books were sent according to their knowledge. Then, as the knowledge of people increased over time, the methods of teaching by the messengers of God and the books also changed. Those who always try to keep themselves updated on any subject should know that God has also regularly updated religions and religious books. In the series of which the latest religious book, Al-Quran, was revealed.

When the messenger Moses (peace be upon him) asked the Creator to appear to the people who wanted direct evidence of the existence of the Creator, to see Him, the Creator said that humans do not have eyes suitable to see Him. Then, when He appeared in honor of Moses' (peace be upon him) demand, in the flash of His light, all the people present at the foot of Mount Tur except Prophet Moses died. Then, at the request of Prophet Moses, the Creator brought them all back to life so that they would believe.

Whenever the Creator revealed a new book, He also presented the truth of the previous books and messengers in each one. The messenger who was a resident of the region was instructed to teach according to the customs of that region, so that the inhabitants of that region would not have any problem in understanding. Even the books were revealed in the language of that region. But under the instigation of Satan, people identified this difference as their sectarian differences, and gradually hatred was established between the followers of a particular religion and the followers of another religion.

The Creator has clearly stated in His books that He did not create any distinction between people, but rather, people themselves have erected a wall of division between them. And over time, this wall has become so strong that anyone who tries to break this wall is being harmed by his own people. And Satan and his companions are taking full advantage of this division, constantly harming people. Regarding this, Satan told the Creator that he would mislead people.

After the Creator created Adam (AS), Adam (AS) was alone, then the Creator created Eve (AS) to keep him company, and the two of them were living happily ever after. Then suddenly one day, the cursed Satan, through Eve (AS), made Adam (AS) guilty before the Creator by feeding him the fruit of a certain tree, the fruit of which he was forbidden to eat. When Adam (AS) realized his mistake, he sincerely asked for forgiveness from the Creator.

Although the Creator forgave him, He sent him to earth to prove that this mistake should not be repeated in the future. Through the description of this incident, the Creator basically informed about the responsibilities and duties of humans roaming on earth, that is, the life span of humans on earth is only a test. But what are we humans doing on earth? We are making mistakes one after another in order to test ourselves not to make mistakes, and we hope that the Creator will forgive us. Rather, think about it with a cool head whether you will be forgiven.

Think about it, Satan was the leader of the angels, his worship and obedience to the Creator had brought him to that position, but he too was cursed because of just one disobedience. The reason he was cursed was that he did not ask for forgiveness for his mistake like Adam (peace be upon him), but rather he was steadfast in his stubbornness. And we humans are committing one crime after another in the belief that the Creator will forgive us? Rather, you should know that on the Day of Judgment, even the Prophets and Messengers will be afraid that they may have committed some mistake during their lives, due to which they may be found guilty in the Last Judgment.

There is also a narration about this, that on the Day of Judgment, people will be running around like madmen, and at that time, the followers of Prophet Moses will see Prophet Moses and run to him to ask forgiveness from God on their behalf. But Prophet Moses will reply, 'I killed a man, I myself do not know what will happen to me, how can I ask forgiveness on your behalf!'

So, do you still believe that God will forgive you? But know God's answer to this. God has described in his last book, the Quran, "So do you believe in some parts of the Quran and disbelieve in some parts?" After that, he said that those who do so will surely have their abode in Hell.

Religion is nothing but those customs that the Creator Himself has set for mankind, and has repeatedly said, ‘This is good for you, if you only understood.’ For example, as a punishment for adultery, He has ordered the accused to be stoned to death, or some modern people have called this law cruel. Has adultery stopped? Or has the amount of this crime decreased? Rather, this crime is increasing every day. Even according to the laws of some countries, it is not a crime.

But if the Creator's law for the punishment of adultery were properly applied, then no one would dare to commit this crime for fear of punishment. That is, the crime would be eradicated. Prophet Moses himself used to apply this punishment of adultery to the Israelites, and he even applied the punishment with his own hands. But have the Israelites remembered this? Rather, they have introduced the system of becoming a single mother by recognizing extramarital relations. According to current estimates, there are about 170,000 single mothers in Israel. As a result, they are turning from barbarians to the most barbaric nation day by day.

Even if they do not accept this, it is scientifically proven. There is no alternative to a family for a child to grow up properly, with the love and care of everyone in the family, a child grows up with a responsible attitude towards the family, society and the country. But do the children of single mothers get this environment, never, rather, due to growing up without a family, adverse effects are observed on their character.

These children have no respect for their elders, no affection for their children, and as the Israelis are proving by mercilessly killing women and children in Gaza, they are even bringing children to court and proving them guilty. However, this matter is also mentioned in the 10 commandments revealed to them that if the Israelites do not respect their parents, they will not be able to stay in their promised land for long. They could not, they were expelled from their own land and took refuge in different countries of the world.

Finally, the Creator says that man is the greatest of all His creations. He loves man very much, and therefore He is always striving to guide him on the right path, not to oppress him with cruel laws.
